Lyrics
The road is long
The journey ahead is lengthy.
With the many winding turns
The path has numerous twists and turns.
That leads us to
Referring to the journey that brings us to an uncertain destination.
Who knows where?
Uncertainty about where the journey leads.
But I'm strong.
The narrator possesses strength.
Strong enough to carry him.
The narrator can bear the weight of someone else.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Emphasizing that the burden is not a hindrance because the person is a brother.
So on we go.
The journey continues.
His welfare is my concern.
The well-being of the brother is a priority.
No burden is his to bear.
The brother doesn't have to bear his own burdens.
We'll get there.
Despite challenges, they will reach their destination.
For I know
The narrator has confidence.
He would not encumber me.
The brother won't be a hindrance.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Reiteration that the brother's weight is not a problem.
If I'm laden at all,
If there is any burden, it is one the narrator willingly carries.
I'm laden with the sadness
Any weight carried is associated with sadness.
That everyone's heart isn't filled
Expressing a desire for universal love and happiness.
With the gladness of love for one another.
The hope that everyone's heart is filled with love for one another.
It's a long, long road
The road is lengthy and irreversible.
From which there is no return.
Once on the road, there's no turning back.
While we're on our way to there,
Encouraging sharing while on the journey.
Why not share?
Suggesting that sharing the load doesn't burden the narrator.
And the load doesn't weigh me down at all.
The burden doesn't weigh heavily on the narrator.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Reiteration that the person being carried is a brother, emphasizing the bond.
